Hi everyone! Monedas is my first web app. Although still very bare bones, the idea is to use different data points to explore crypto assets. Like I say in the about page: "I think crypto assets are a different animal. Instead of lookin

Although the key lessons can be written in a few bullet points, the story helps the reader internalize the teachings. I think we misunderstimate the impact a few fundamental lessons on finance can do to a person’s life. Especially when the

Ditto. Maybe you read my comment wrong but I am arguing for a store of value - not a currency. And I am asking why it should fail as a store of value because I don't see how gold has any advantage over it.

Gold mines are connected to genocide, funding wars and illegal trade. Is my logic wrong in pointing out a 'flaw' in gold when someone else points out a 'flaw' in bitcoin? I think criminals will use any tool in ways that

The flip side of that coin is that no one remembers that moment. Only time can tell. I think it's a matter of placing your bets where you think it is most probable that you will win the most. I personally don't believe that the st

I understand there might be a crazy upside somewhere in the future (for example, the COVFEFE ACT). This can be done only in hindsight. The risk, imo, was way too high to do anything but cash out at the moment.

Fuuny story behind covfefe: I tried purchasing minutes after the tweet to find out someone had already purchased it. I reached out to the guy (midnight) to buy it but he didn't want to sell it. I offered my ideas on what he could to ca

The 'killer app' for the time being are indeed ICOs. Unregulated, messy ICOs. I do think it is too early to judge the cryptocurrency world or blockhain in general for not having 'killer apps'. Analogies to the early inte

Reminds of a time when a friend Of mine was rollerblading to my home from hers (~5 miles). She called me mid way because she found 2 kids (maybe 12 years old) carrying a ton of stuff down an empty 3 mile road. She asked me to drive my car
